Denise Santini Achieves WELL AP Certification <\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

RED Studio Inc. Principal Architect Denise Santini has a new certification to add to her credentials, she is now officially a WELL AP (Accredited Professional)!<\/p>\n

The WELL Building Standard\u00a0is \u201can evidence based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring the performance of building features that impact health and well-being.\u201d www.wellcertified.com<\/em><\/p>\n

The WELL Building Standard Version 1.0 was designed for\u00a0commercial and institutional buildings, specifically Core and Shell, New and Existing Interiors, and New and Existing Buildings. There are many pilot programs also underway for other typologies, such as: Education, Residential Multi-Family, Retail, Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens.<\/p>\n

WELL AP is a reasonably new certification, which makes Santini\u2019s achievement all the more exciting. This is truly the cutting edge of the industry.<\/p>\n

The WELL Building Standard is\u00a0comprised of\u00a0preconditions and\u00a0optimizations, categorized under\u00a0seven core concepts, that\u00a0are to be achieved to garner\u00a0silver, gold, or platinum certification.<\/p>\n

These seven concepts as listed on wellcertified.com are:<\/p>\n

Air:<\/strong> achieving air quality through reduction of contaminants, carbon monoxide, and bans on smoking\u00a0throughout the building and site.<\/p>\n

Water: <\/strong>increase accessibility to clean water through filtration and treatment. Have water access point strategically placed.<\/p>\n

Nourishment: <\/strong>encourage healthy eating habits and access to fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy food choices.<\/p>\n

Light: <\/strong>emphasis on natural light, so as not to disrupt the body\u2019s circadian rhythm.<\/p>\n

Fitness: <\/strong>utilize building design technologies and knowledge-based strategies to encourage physical activity.<\/p>\n

Comfort:<\/strong> create an indoor environment that is distraction-free, productive, and soothing.<\/p>\n

Mind: <\/strong>supporting mental and emotional health through design elements, relaxation spaces, and state-of-the-art technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of cross between the concepts as well, for instance:\u00a0there is something that you\u00a0might incorporate in\u00a0the mind concept that will impact a feature in the air concept. You really have to understand the underlying concepts and the\u00a0synergy between them all.\u201d Santini said after passing the examination.<\/p>\n

Santini also highlighted that the concepts that make up the WELL\u00a0Building Standard\u00a0are features that she and the Red Studio\u00a0team have been practicing since the beginning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen (husband and fellow Red Studio Principal Antonio Santini) were graduate students, we were research assistants with Tang Lee, Canada’s foremost expert in Canada on indoor air quality\u201d. Santini said their research with Tang Lee on Health in the Built Environment was prepared for the Vital Signs\u00a0Initiative sponsored by\u00a0the Centre for The Built Environment at\u00a0UC Berkeley and published in 1995.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is something we have been incorporating for over 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

We at Red Studio look forward to highlighting future projects that are WELL certified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
